OWNERSHIP – Take responsibility for actions Be responsible for your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. “Own” the choices you make and the results that follow.
Ownership is our willingness to take responsibility for the choices we make. When we take responsibility for our choices, others know they can count on us and we earn their respect.
When we take ownership of everything we do and say and stop blaming things outside ourselves for situations that occur in our lives, we have greater control. We may not be able to control everything that happens in our lives but we can control how we respond to what happens. By taking ownership of our actions we create a huge shift in our life.

- When students were having some difficulties with playing football, soccer and kickball at recess they created rules with Mr. MacRoberts and part of those guidelines were that students would take ownership for their actions and plays on the field.

Music
In putting a piece of music together for performance, students learn the importance of everyone playing their assigned part correctly. If they don't, the entire piece can fall apart. Recently a 5th grade class was playing a very complex piece that came apart because two students made mistakes on their specific part. When we stopped, they both took ownership in their errors, allowing us to help them correct their mistakes.

Dyslexia Dyslexia students struggle with spelling as well as reading in their daily lives. In class, they are taught to "own it" and learn the rules that make up 85% of words in the English language. After years of watching other students participate in an annual spelling bee, our students have decided to have our own spelling bee contest at the end of the school year based on the rules learned in class. They will be studying the rules taught, up to their corresponding levels, and participate in a spelling contest of their own. The dyslexia students will "own it" and learn from it!
